Arizona forward RJ Godfrey will sit out the Wildcats' game with San Francisco on Tuesday because of his continued ineligibility, while freshman center Endurance "Endi" Aiyamenkhue also will not play because of a lower leg injury.
However, UA reserve center Evan Otten will play after missing the Wildcats' Sept. 26 Red-Blue Showcase with a lower-leg injury.
Arizona forward Mabil Mawut (20) finishes off a jam during the warm-up before the Wildcats take on San Francisco in an exhibition game, Tucson, Ariz., October 13, 2026.
Without Godfrey at power forward, the Wildcats will start with a small lineup as they did during their exhibition trip to Lithuania in August: Derek Dixon will start at point guard, with Bryce James and Caleb Holt on the wings, Ivan Kharchenkov at power forward and Motiejus Krivas at center.
